Go to https://metrics.torproject.org/relay-search.html and put in your
fingerprint and day (e.g. 2011-07-22) and see if your relay is missing
from any of the consensus stanzas for the day. If you aren't listed
every hour, that means a majority of the directory authorities didn't
think you were reachable then.

(If you *are* listed every hour, you might still be going down for a
little while, which would be enough to be noted as a failure by the
directory authorities.)
